STEREOFOUND

A collection of ‘non-music’ and ‘oddities’ on vinyl, found at thrift stores and flea markets. Think of stereo-test records, jingles, sound effects, instructions, spoken word, language courses and, well, basically everything recorded out of the ordinary.

I figured it would be nice to kick-off with this lovely 7″ from 1959 which teaches you a thing or two about high fidelity and stereo sound, which this blog is all about… well, not really but it has ‘stereo’ in it’s title… Anyway, a narrator explains with help from some classical music clips, blips and bleeps and test tones what Hi-Fi means.

It’s narrated in Dutch so sorry to everyone who is not from around these flatlands, most of the records I’ll be posting here will be Dutch. But, don’t let that get you down, I’ve got some nice non-dutch recordings up my sleeve (!) as well.
